RMweb Gold 97406 Posted May 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2023 2 minutes ago, 40002 said: But the thing with the Bachman 37 chains attaching to the chassis and not the body, it doesn't really spoil the look of the loco if you take them off, where as with the Deltic it does, you also have the major issue on the Deltic where to take the body off you have to detach the chains. I attempted to fit a sound decoder to one of mine but there was no way I was taking the body off, and so I had to find a small speaker which I could slide under roof instead of the big AS speaker. Both my Deltics have had the chains removed, and the next batch will have them attached to the chassis. I have a second Bachmann 37/4 and the Accurascale one with all 4 chains intact! The dodgy jumper sockets on the Bachmann 37 benefit from some little blobs of epoxy around 3 of the outer edges leaving the soldered contacts bare just in case they still needs to be resoldered at some point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I’m surprised having just got them out, how dated the 2015 Bachmann 37 looks….high ride height, not much detail and those god forsaken windows…hard to see how I’ll be able to keep em , when accura do a livery , sub class combination I’m after 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs someone to bite the bullet and do an up-to-date 40 to the same standards as the current pair of 37s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halvarras Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 A bit late, but I had these to hand so........... 40039 at Derby 7th June 1975. By then awaiting the call to Crewe Works for an overhaul and repaint into blue like the rest (except D322 and 40106), which for this unfortunate example never came. Well, the call did, but the 'overhaul' turned into an appointment with a man with a gas axe who cut the poor thing in half (shudder)......as a result I'm actually quite pleased to see Bachmann stage a 1/76th scale resurrection - gone but not forgotten! 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The past couple of years have seen an all new rebooted OO gauge diesel appear. Of course they will eventually dry up. But what beast could appear this time ???? The 20, 24, 25, 40 and 70 are already underway as either new or enhanced toolings. The Peaks???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted July 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2023 Last year the main model announced was the Farish N gauge class 90. If there is to be a newly tooled N gauge loco this year, it would probably be in these announcements to be in time for TINGS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
